Retina	Anterior hypothalamic nucleus anterior part	light/moderate	not known	Cholera toxin conjugated to HRP	Case pg352. Soma notes 36 female Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200-350g. 10 microliters of CT-HRP(.20%-.40%) were injected into one eye ?behind the lens into the vitreous chamber of the eye. pressure injection over 1 min. Terminal notes Med. component of the RHT?in addition, labeled fibres and terms were found lateral to the lateral boundary of the SCN, in the lateroanterior hypothalamic nucleus. Lat component diffuse labeling in the lateroanterior hypothalamic nucleus was evident.		Levine JD, Weiss ML, Rosenwasser AM, Miselis RR., 1991
